Teenage girl, bullied because of her name, responds with heartfelt video

A teenage girl has been bullied for years simply because she happen to have the same first name as a well-known terrorist group. The coincidence led to constant harassment which got so bad that she transferred schools simply to get away from the absurd questions and taunts.

In an effort to stop the bullying — and to offer help and encouragement to those going through similar issues — she posted a video to YouTube. In it, she tearfully explains to her tormentors that what they are doing makes no sense.

She encourages those who are dealing with bullying because of their names to remember to love their names while recalling who they were truly named after.
